Hi Alan,

Thanks very much for your help!

This worked great, thanks! Gosh it was driving me nuts last night, looks straightforward when you know how, thanks again 🙂


> Huh?  There's no comma after the cast statement.  Plus, the cast documentation says that casting is done via <>, and not ().  See "man unlang", or the online documentation.

I tried with both <> and (), because google was pulling out examples of both. I have no idea why freeradius would be saying it expected a comma either. I tried so many things and got various different errors. I didn't make sense to me, I dunno.

Perhaps a big part of the confusion, was that I was working on docs for version 3.0, which doesn't have a lot of info version 4.x docs has.

I realise now I should have relied more on "man unlang", sorry 🙁 It seems as so many docs are online now-a-days, it's become natural to use a browser for checking docs, and terminals for writing / modifying code.


>  Do read "man unlang" and the documentation on the web site.  Don't use third-party web sites.  Don't use AI.

After the best part of the day and continuing into the night. A seemingly unending cycle of reading/trial/error, plus trying newer freeradius versions, yeah... I did eventually realise Google and the AIs weren't making any sense. For other languages like python, google and the AIs are surprisingly good; but a less widely used language like unlang, you're right, nothing works 😕 I guess it was at that point I realised I needed real help from humans - with proper examples of what syntax can and can't be used together, hehe.

Thanks again! 🙂
